Set on an expansive hillside lot in Panorama Heights, this fully reimagined mid-century modern retreat blends unobstructed panoramic views, resort-style living, and a rare hillside vineyard into one extraordinary property experience. Designed to maximize its hillside setting, the home immediately captures your attention the moment you enter, where towering beam ceilings and dramatic walls of glass frame sweeping views that become the focal point throughout the home’s primary gathering spaces. Oversized sliding glass doors create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, opening the home to expansive entertaining decks, lush grounds, and the surrounding hillside landscape. The open-concept floor plan connects the great room, dining area, and designer kitchen, creating a cohesive environment that functions equally well for intimate daily living and larger gatherings. A defining feature of the home is its primarily single-level lifestyle, with the main floor offering the primary suite, guest bedrooms, guest baths, office, laundry room, and walk-in pantry. The spacious primary suite opens directly to a private view deck and features a custom walk-in closet, soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. Downstairs, a private guest suite with separate access potential creates flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or nanny quarters. Hidden beyond a secret bookshelf-style entry is a tucked-away wine room reminiscent of classic old-world speakeasy design — an unforgettable architectural detail rarely found in homes of this style. The grounds evoke the feeling of a private hillside retreat, complete with a heated pool and spa, outdoor kitchen with bar seating, mature landscaping, fruit trees, intimate yard spaces and vine-covered terraces that add remarkable charm and character to the setting. Stone garden walls built from natural hillside rock create a timeless organic feel throughout the landscape. Set on approximately 25,000 square feet of highly usable land, the property offers exceptional privacy while preserving the integrity of the surrounding views with no visible utility lines and no future obstruction concerns. Additional highlights include solar, EV charging, generous parking, and a flat driveway — a rare convenience for hillside living. A truly distinctive opportunity to own a fully reimagined architectural hillside estate in Panorama Heights.
